Still looking for an Israeli contribution to peace...
based on your definition of "peace" you will not find it. Israel does not struggle to accomplish you definition of peace---to wit DAR AL ISLAM----and the rule of shariah
Israel rejects concepts like yours which include the provisions of law that require that the testimony of a muslim CANNOT be disputed by a non muslim. This law that you seek to enact is entirely inconsistent with jewish jurisprudence over the past more than 3 millenia Jewish jurisprudence depends on the consistent testimony all witnesses-----regardless of gender or creed------preferably questioned separately. The issue is the consistency of testimony and not the "social status" of the witness. Interestingly----your preferences are consistent with that which is included in the CODE OF HUMMARABI
the peace you seek includes dhimmia-----which simply does not exist in jewish jurisprudence and legal code
Dhimmia has not existed in Palestine for hundreds of years.
Why do you keep bringing it up?
Dhimmia exists wherever ISLAM exists just like KOSHER
exists wherever jews exist. Both exert very very strong
cultural influence. My mother never maintained ANY kosher
rules-----but BECAUSE OF CULTURAL issues-----simply transmitted
as a kind "attitude" I have never tasted a clam-----it does not
look like food to me I cannot imagine EVER picking up an oyster shell
and SLURPING up its contents Because of cultural influences---transmitted
as a kind of attitude, I and all of my brothers could read at an early age---and
did read as if it were a very normal thing to do Because of cultural influences
neither I nor any of my brothers ever owned or used guns or engaged in HUNTING
despite the fact that we grew up in an area where HUNTING was considered the normal
thing that men (and sometimes women) do as a leisure time activity. Because of cultural issues as a child I was able to drink wine-----my playmate was forbidden to touch any
alcohol until she reached age 18 at which point she and her friends virtually dashed
to bars to get to the FORBIDDEN---weird drink called tom collins a really nauseating
sweet ginny slop----probably goes well with oysters
In the south of the USA-----de FACTO social segregation STILL EXISTS ----it is CULTURAL ----stuff like that never goes away----slavery ended about 150 years ago but when a bunch of young people end up in a large room ----the whites are on one side and the blacks on the other-----in 2012
dhimmia has a very marked effect on muslims Here in the US my husband has some minor social/business interaction with some muslims from the country in which he was born----he always claims he knows NO ARABIC AT ALL-----so the muslims can toss the traditional
abusive language at him that was used against DHIMMIS back "home" there is no dhimmia there either-----no dhimmis LEFT to be dhimmis for more than 60 years --thus the abuse tossers never lived with it
I encountered LOTS of young muslims who ended up living together in the USA-----because of CULTURE there was instantaneous hatred between arabs and Iranians I saw it in their eyes long before I ever heard the word SHIITE or SUNNI For the record---none of these young professionals were particularly religious---at all
you should read the book CHILDHOOD AND SOCIETY
My husband was born in a shariah cesspit-----where the overwhelming majority
of people at that time were completely illiterate ----the majority still are
but because of cultural issues he began to learn to read at age 3 and was proficient
by age six (otherwise his father would have died of shame because of cultural issues)
